Julian made chimichurri along with steak the other night. For the non-cognoscenti, chimichurri is an Argentine parsley pesto sauce that’s heavy on the garlic. It should only be consumed among consenting adults. I took some for lunch years ago and nearly caused evacuation of the office suite. We had some leftover sauce, so Julian suggested using it as a pasta sauce. Made sense to me.
I chose orecchiette as the pasta. I could have used spaghetti, but I wanted a shape that would cup the sauce; hence orecchiette. After the pasta was cooked and drained, I tossed it quickly with the sauce. Julian grated some Parmesan on his dish and called it good. One could have added chicken or other protein to the dish. I’d do this again.
